Kolo Trauma Treatment and Training:

Crisis of Self Sustainability

Former Yugoslavia region experienced 100 years of war and has intergenerational trauma in three generations. As we show no signs of pulling back from our violence and policy of perpetual economic expansion, the only unknown seems to be how severe the ecological and catastrophic impacts in the aftermath will fuel self-sustainability crisis.

Based on the circle format, the South Slavic Oral Memory Traditions are the earliest known forms of somatic based psychology and sensorimotor psychotherapy. Sensorimotor psychotherapy is focused on the body’s locomotive motor behaviors involving postures presented by the body. In other words, current innovative psychotherapy paired with neurobiological and neuropsychology understands that trauma is embodied which is preserved and continues to be applied in the kolo.

Trauma is an embodied psycho-biological process. The kolo trauma treatment and training for self-sustainability is therefore easily integrated across cultures.

Learning Intensive Online Programs

Learning Intensive Online Programs and coursework are based upon the Kolo Trauma Treatment and Training format applied internationally since 1999. The Kolo Trauma Treatment and Training continues in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Novi Travnik, Sri Lanka, Africa and Haiti.

Learning intensive programs foster humanity towards self-sustainability by learning from crisis, traumas and the past into what is happening in this present moment. Within crisis & traumas, the ancient ways and earth practices resurface to readdress the imbalance scarring the world as we know it today.

The Kolo Trauma Treatment and Training has responded to Sri Lanka’s over two decades old war and Tsunami in 2004. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, The Kolo: Women’s Cross Cultural Collaboration instituted an annual gathering and certified 22 Kolo lay-practitioners in the past decade. In Uganda, north of Lira Town, the Kolo Trauma Treatment facilitated a gender based violence program with the Kolo Trauma Treatment format as its foundational resource.
